It seems that life in Basel is in general luxurious, with the city's access to some of the best museums, cultural events, a thriving food culture, cafes & nightlife, fashion and historical neighborhoods as well as easy access to France & Germany. The day to day is very culturally rich and just being in Basel felt like a privilege. I profile some of the finest hotels, top local restaurants, best neighborhoods and premier activities and museums in this LuxuryGuide.

Actually this romantic interior is a hotel that known as Casas del XVI. Casas del XVI is a whole new concept in Santo Domingo accommodations, bringing the romance and ease of a bygone era together with modern comfort, service and convenience.Located in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, this colorful hotel designed by Alejandro Marranzini pays tribute to the region’s colonial past. Imagine the perfect Dominican vacation in which you are a member of 16th centurySpanish nobility on a journey to experience the mystery and exoticism of the New World for the first time.

Japan is home to numerous car and transport inventions and advancements. Japanese car manufacturers are considered to be one of the most advanced and successful nowadays, so people of this country seem to be having a great passion towards cars.
It can be clearly seen by the number of thematic car meets and design trends, which have influenced Japanese tuning style as a whole. Currently experts distinguish several popular car cultures and modification styles, which originated from Japan: VIP style, Bosozoku & Onikyan or DemonCamber.
The VIP style is said to have originated from design preferences of Yakuza gang members. These outlaws had a thing for luxury cars and spend a good deal of time and money improving their specs. The luxury cars & business like styling were chosen to blend with other cars and avoid detection by rival gangs and more importantly, the police.
Bosozoku car & moto culture is all about teen rebellion. Teenagers, inspired by popular comic shows and TV animations, try to build not only fast cars but style them, as if a comic book hero would drive it.
Onikyan or Demon Camber become a just a visual design style, after such modification was abandoned by the drifters.
Many people thought that cars with negative camber would handle better around the track but such modification had more disadvantages than advantages. So some people added such feature only as a visual modification.
This is just a brief review of popular car cultures in Japan. If you would like to know what auto tuning looks like in other countries, please check out this video presentation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4WEh_eUfDI8
We have briefly reviewed such styles as hot rod, sleeper, drag racer and some other cultures.

Jean MichelPetit from vizeat and eatwith talks new luxury in travel and the best way to discover new cultures and locals

Culture

Culture (/ˈkʌltʃər/) is, in the words of E.B. Tylor, "that complex whole which includes knowledge, belief, art, morals, law, custom and any other capabilities and habits acquired by man as a member of society."

Cambridge English Dictionary states that culture is, "the way of life, especially the general customs and beliefs, of a particular group of people at a particular time."Terror Management Theory posits that culture is a series of activities and worldviews that provide humans with the illusion of being individuals of value in a world meaning—raising themselves above the merely physical aspects of existence, in order to deny the animal insignificance and death that Homo Sapiens became aware of when they acquired a larger brain.

The famous bridge of the Burma Railway crosses the river at Tha Makham Subdistrict of the Mueang District. However, this is not the same bridge as depicted in The Bridge over the River Kwai by Pierre Boulle and in its film adaptation. A bridge was built of wood approximately 100 metres (330ft) upriver from the current bridge, during the construction of the iron and concrete bridge and also rebuilt in 1945 when the iron bridge was bombed. No remnants of the wooden bridge remain. That wooden bridge was also not the bridge depicted in the film as the river was not called the Kwai Yai at that time. A wooden trestle bridge was built over the Kwai Noi many miles upstream in the jungle and it would more closely resemble the bridge in the film. However, the film is really a fictional depiction of the events with many inaccuracies and neither bridge can really be said to be that depicted in the film.

From Luxury to Heartache

Overview

From Luxury to Heartache was a deliberate departure for Culture Club, a move away from the reggae-flavoured pop of their previous releases into dance-oriented music. Veteran pop and R&B producer Arif Mardin replaced Steve Levine, in a bid to revitalise the band's sound. Due to lead singer Boy George's growing addiction to drugs, recordings dragged on for so long that Mardin had to disband the sessions and leave it up to engineer Lew Hahn to record the final vocals. (The final credit on the album gave production credit to both Mardin and Hahn on all tracks.) Songs like "Gusto Blusto" and "Reasons" took days for the addicted singer to finish.

Following the release of the album, rumours of George's heroin addiction began to circulate in the tabloids, and by the summer of 1986, he announced that he was indeed addicted to drugs. In July, he was arrested by the British police for possession of cannabis. Several days later, keyboardist Michael Rudetsky, who played on the album and had co-written "Sexuality" with George, was found dead of a heroin overdose in George's home.

Dana Thomas - Deluxe: How Luxury Lost its Lustre

On 20 November2007Dana Thomas visited the John AdamsInstitute in Amsterdam to talk about her book 'Deluxe: How LuxuryLost its Lustre'
The topic of luxury today is all about globalization, capitalization, class and culture. Dana Thomas explores with a blend of history, culture and investigative journalism the whole of today’s high-end shopping experience. Thomas answers some pressing questions in her book 'Deluxe': What happened to brands like Louis Vuitton, Gucci and Yves Saint Laurent? What is the new definition of luxury when advertising for this lifestyle is targeted mainly toward the mass market? What are we paying for when quality has given way to quantity? Is luxury still the best that money can buy? How do the rich and chic distinguish themselves today? Dana Thomas is the cult...

Yoshiike Ryokan - I paid 77,760 Japanese Yen (at the time $708.16 USD) for 1 night for 2 adults, 1 baby and booked it here: https://www.booking.com/hotel/jp/yoshiike-ryokan.en-gb.html?aid=808668 (Not Sponsored, but this is an affiliate link)
One of the greatest things about Japanese culture is the idea of minimalism, relaxation, nature, and food. And for a long time now, I’ve really wanted to experience a Japanese ryokan, a traditional inn, that typically includes an onsen (hot spring bath) and meals which are served in your room.
My wife and I were in Tokyo, and on a last spur of the moment decision, I found a ryokan not too far from Tokyo, in the mountains in a place called Hakone. We took the train to Hakone and checked into our ryokan for 1 night.
It was a bit more expensive than I had anticipated, but as I kept on searching, some ryokans were filling up, and then Ying and I really wanted to have the private onsen so I could film and make a video (in the public onsen room, which would be cheaper - I couldn’t film of course!). So we splurged, for the experience, Japanese culture, and the food.
The room was amazing, private onsen, amazing garden view, and traditional Japanese food. In the evening, they brought out multi-course Japanese kaiseki dinner. It included all sorts of regional Japanese food and some of the fanciest food I’ve ever had. Some dishes were good, others a little plain for my liking - but I really appreciated the quality and simplicity.
Staying at a traditional Japanese ryokan and eating luxury Japanese food was really an amazing relaxing and Japanese cultural experience.

Luxury in Basel, Switzerland

It seems that life in Basel is in general luxurious, with the city's access to some of the best museums, cultural events, a thriving food culture, cafes & nightlife, fashion and historical neighborhoods as well as easy access to France & Germany. The day to day is very culturally rich and just being in Basel felt like a privilege. I profile some of the finest hotels, top local restaurants, best neighborhoods and premier activities and museums in this LuxuryGuide.
Featured: HotelTroisRois, Fondation Beyeler, Berower Park, RiverFerry, Hotel Nomad

Actually this romantic interior is a hotel that known as Casas del XVI. Casas del XVI is a whole new concept in Santo Domingo accommodations, bringing the romance and ease of a bygone era together with modern comfort, service and convenience.Located in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, this colorful hotel designed by Alejandro Marranzini pays tribute to the region’s colonial past. Imagine the perfect Dominican vacation in which you are a member of 16th centurySpanish nobility on a journey to experience the mystery and exoticism of the New World for the first time.

Luxury in Singapore

Cultures collide to create the element of luxury in the Southeast Asian city-state.

Japan is home to numerous car and transport inventions and advancements. Japanese car manufacturers are considered to be one of the most advanced and successful nowadays, so people of this country seem to be having a great passion towards cars.
It can be clearly seen by the number of thematic car meets and design trends, which have influenced Japanese tuning style as a whole. Currently experts distinguish several popular car cultures and modification styles, which originated from Japan: VIP style, Bosozoku & Onikyan or DemonCamber.
The VIP style is said to have originated from design preferences of Yakuza gang members. These outlaws had a thing for luxury cars and spend a good deal of time and money improving their specs. The luxury cars & business like styling were chosen to blend with other cars and avoid detection by rival gangs and more importantly, the police.
Bosozoku car & moto culture is all about teen rebellion. Teenagers, inspired by popular comic shows and TV animations, try to build not only fast cars but style them, as if a comic book hero would drive it.
Onikyan or Demon Camber become a just a visual design style, after such modification was abandoned by the drifters.
Many people thought that cars with negative camber would handle better around the track but such modification had more disadvantages than advantages. So some people added such feature only as a visual modification.
This is just a brief review of popular car cultures in Japan. If you would like to know what auto tuning looks like in other countries, please check out this video presentation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4WEh_eUfDI8
We have briefly reviewed such styles as hot rod, sleeper, drag racer and some other cultures.
